SKELDON

I'm growing up in Skeldon, Guyana, on the coast, near the Suriname border.  Mother snaps, "don't be silly, take the umbrella."
"But it's only half a block to the shop."
"Don't you backtalk me.  Sun is hot, gotta keep a nice complexion."
I could point out that my brother has been playing football all day with his friends.  Why bother?  Just get her angry.
